CLAY!

Our work with clay continues in the Studio.  Children are building hand strength and control, as well as skills that they will use to create sculptures with clay.  

The have been working on making three fundamental shapes that can be used for designing and creating in clay:


BALL

  





SLAB







COIL




It can be very tricky to use just the right amount of pressure and control as they make these shapes!

The ball, slab and coil can be used as basic shapes to make many other creations!  


Like a lollipop!

Or a nest with eggs!
